  1. Mcatatonic1

    We are fucked

    This is both tired AND frustrated Embiid

  2. SquashForDinner

    Holy hell Embiid is gassed like a mfer.

    Also this zone is killing us but idk if we can play man lol…

  3. HappyGooner45

    Ofc one of their role players eat us alive

  4. Did refs get together and tell each other to stop calling fouls for embiid. People just straight hack at him at this point

  5. MFDOOMBreadandbutter

    This is George Karl’s Christmas

  6. Scottsm124

    Embiid is going to lose the MVP again isn’t he

  7. Prestigious-Rock201

    Embiid is definitely losing mvp with the nuggets blowing the bucks out fuck

  8. FxStryker

    Doc better start drawing up defenses to guard the perimeter.

  9. jloops03

    Sucks being forced to play zone because we don’t have a single person who can contain the ball.

  10. Impressionante

    This whole team looks lethargic and totally checked out right now

  11. thegrittyrn

    Denver is winning against the Bucks and we’re losing to the hospital Suns

    This is shaping up to be a really bad night

  12. Whyguyborgor

    Embiid gotta use his body next half it’s fucking Bismack biyombo defending him

  13. Wekilledit88

    Gross first half. Joel doing all he can he’s obviously fuckin gassed. Maxey going off, Tobias getting good looks, but the bench is just horrendous. Any production whatsoever and we’re leading at half. Also, Melton is just useless h the past two nights. Makes no sense.

  14. Sheriff-Gotcha

    Joel draws a triple team and everyone standing around the 3pt line instead of cutting to the bucket is a crazy offensive strategy.

    It’s like a YMCA pickup game offense out there tonight.

  15. PensiveinNJ

    Sloppy stuff. Kind of expected on the road back to back after a big game last night but you hope they can pull it together and get it done down the stretch.

  16. BigDeezerrr

    Can’t remember the last time the Sun’s missed a shot

  17. Mcatatonic1

    Biyimbo is basically punching Joel every possession lol

    I find these really unathletic and overweight centers have remarkable success against Joel bc they have enough mass to absorb the contact and are too slow to react to any of his moves

  18. SamHinkiesNephew

    We are 10-27 inside the arc. That’s almost impossible

  19. Embiid won’t lose the MVP based on tonight. It’s gonna come down to Monday and everyone knows it.

  20. Feelscreative101

    With the nuggets about to beat the Bucks, I think if we beat them, the big fella will take the MVP

  21. ComeAtMeYo

    Come on Jojo, the MVP is in your grasp. Show some life the second half big guy and put these bums away. Suns have lost 6 of the last 7…

  22. jawny-appleseed

    rip embiid mvp. the media finally got their golden opportunity to shit on embiid and crown jokic mvp

  23. PensiveinNJ

    Looks like the Bucks are gonna lose. Shame we can’t win our fucking games.

  24. wentzoverdak

    why do we always win more when losing at half?

  25. jawntothefuture

    Embiid dropping probably 15-18 next quarter btw chill out fam

  26. Whyguyborgor

    Bench is 1/10 with 5 points, fucking ass

  27. jeppsforst

    Yeah maybe Joel should’ve been rested tonight. Looks dead out there

  28. romanticynicist

    Everybody relax. We’re down 5 at the half in a SEGABABA, have been getting a shit whistle, and they’re making some crazy shots.

  29. True-Match-6446

    Melton, McDaniels, Milton, and Niang a combined 1/13

  30. carefulmybones

    Our totally ridiculous schedule seems to finally be catching up with us

  31. I just watch Sixers games, always find it interesting how different these good West teams are built. Don’t have guard play in the East like Suns/Warriors.

  32. HappyGooner45

    Sixers play perimeter defence challenge (hard!)

  33. Mcatatonic1

    Joel’s MVP argument is gonna slip if he keeps playing like this

    It’s not really his fault as we have no one to play PG rn and but this statline and a loss against these Bums while Jokic and Giannis are battling will not help his cause

  34. Whyguyborgor

    Suns have dropped 6 of the last 7, a loss here is inexcusable

  35. So if the sixers lose tonight, that’s 3/4 this week with a good chance to lose Monday as well. 1-4 in 8 days. Not great
